If the entire Journey to the West is almost like playing house, then this time in Wuzhuang Temple, it shows the most straightforward side of the jungle in the Three Realms.
The majestic ancestor of the Earthly Immortals and one of the top experts in the three realms deliberately avoided the Westbound team, but in the end he still couldn't escape being involved.
In the end, he was forced into the embarrassing situation of sworn with a monkey to save himself from the siege, which shows the power and domineering power of Buddhism.
Monkey is just a fool. He was made a spearman without knowing anything, and he still keeps trying to show off. It is because of his extraordinary background and his Buddhist connections. Otherwise, with the strength of Zhen Yuanzi, he can be called out with just one look.
Turn into ashes and disappear into smoke.
The reason why Lei Hu wanted to take action personally was because of the ginseng fruit from Wuzhuang Temple!
The monkey doesn't take the ginseng fruit seriously, but look at the old pig and monk Sha who are making a fortune in silence.
That is the ginseng fruit, which is not inferior to the flat peach at all, and is even more effective than the heaven and earth spirit fruit!
Of course, just like the real flat peach ancestral tree, which cannot be seen casually by people, and whose descendants have developed into flowers, fruits and matures every three thousand years, six thousand years and nine thousand years, the ginseng fruit of Wuzhuangguan should be similar.
In fact, in the prehistoric mythology, the Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi was originally formed from ten innate spiritual roots, ginseng and fruit trees. How could he reveal his true form to others casually?
But even if the effect is severely weakened, the ginseng fruit in Wuzhuang Temple, which evolved from the branches on the ancestral tree, is still an incredible good thing.
The monkey may not care, but the thunder tiger cannot ignore it!
His cultivation at this time has reached the peak of Golden Immortal, and he is only half a step away from reaching the realm of Taiyi!
As long as you reach the realm of Taiyi, you can be called the true power of heaven and earth. Both your right to speak in the three realms and your status in the heaven will be very different, and the resources you can obtain will also be very different.
Of course, it is not easy to reach the realm of Taiyi from the peak of Jinxian in one step. Relying solely on the efficacy of ginseng fruit may not necessarily lead to success.
After all, no one knows the number of ginseng fruits in Wuzhuang Temple and which generation they are from, since the ginseng fruits are not fully functional on the ancestral tree.
According to rumors, the real ginseng fruit is comparable to the Nine Turns Golden Pill made by Taishang Laojun.
If you eat one, you can take a mere mortal to the realm of Daluo Jinxian, and even transcend the long river of fate.
Regardless of this, Lei Hu has no intention of letting go of the incident at Wuzhuang Temple in vain. Anyway, there is a monkey in front of him. Even if he is targeted by Zhen Yuanzi, there will still be a strong-headed monkey in front of him.
Besides, it's not like he didn't do anything, at least he could help Zhen Yuanzi from being too embarrassed.
In the original work of Journey to the West, Buddhism was simply slapped in the face by Chi Luoluo. First, he allowed the monkey to act recklessly, and then the defender pretended to be generous and used the three-light divine water in the Guanyin jade bottle to treat him, and even suppressed Yuanzi to admit his aggrievement.
Zhen Yuanzi, the dignified ancestor of the Earthly Immortals, was a top power in heaven and earth at the same time as the Two Saints of the West in myths and legends. He was even qualified to compete for the holy throne. He was one generation older than Guanyin and Tathagata.
As a result, in the world of Journey to the West, he was forced by a group of juniors, and finally had to bow his head and submit. If you think about it, you will know how unhappy Zhen Yuanzi is.
It stands to reason that things would not develop to this extent.
Unfortunately, the monkey was allowed to act recklessly, and there was no immortal god to stop it in time, which resulted in a very bad situation for the Immortal Zhen Yuanzi. This was the purpose of Lei Hu's intervention.
As long as we take action in time to stop the monkey from running amok and discounting the number of ginseng fruits with a stick, at least the reputation of Immortal Zhen Yuanzi will not be so seriously lost.
From the fact that Lao Zhu and Sha Monk were indifferent and just followed the monkey's actions of secretly reaping the benefits, we can know the attitude of Men and Tianting. It can be said that the situation of Zhen Yuanzi Immortal is quite isolated.
Thinking about it, it can actually be powerful. As far as Lei Hu knows, the four continents and worlds where Journey to the West is located have basically been divided up by several powerful forces.
Taoism, Buddhism and Tianting basically divide the four continents, whether it is resources, luck, or the right to speak.
Those who are not strong enough can only choose to side with three forces. Those who are strong can only be free and at ease unless they declare complete neutrality and give up their luck and resources in the four major continents.
This kind of freedom is actually no different from being completely exiled.
Without the support of luck and resources from the four major continents, it is simply impossible to advance further in the realm of cultivation. Unless you encounter a great opportunity and get huge benefits in the chaotic world outside, otherwise in the stable environment of the "general trend" of heaven and earth
, there is basically no possibility of going further.
Obviously, Immortal Zhen Yuanzi is the target!
Although he belongs to the Xuanmen, he is not a member of the Taoist sect. He belongs to the powerful power of heaven and earth on the top of the Xuanmen self-standing mountain. It is impossible to get the support of the Taoist sect. It can only be said that the relationship is acceptable and the Taoist sect will not take the initiative to plot.
The Taoist sect will only treat him as if he doesn't exist, and the Heavenly Court has the same attitude. With Zhen Yuanzi's level of cultivation, even if he takes the initiative to seek refuge in the Heavenly Court, he would not dare to accept him. Who will be counted as a Jiuzhan Nestle when the time comes?
Buddhism naturally wants to bring Zhen Yuanzi under its sect. Anyway, Buddhism has already created existences like the Seven Ancient Buddhas. Creating another ancient Buddha's attainment status is nothing. It is just a matter of words from two Buddhist saints.
It just so happened that the Wuzhuang Temple, the Taoist temple of Zhen Yuanzi, was located on the border of Hezhou, Xiniu, which happened to be the basic base of Buddhism. If a being like Zhen Yuanzi did not take refuge, it would be the biggest instability factor.
Therefore, if the Immortal Zhen Yuanzi does not want to take sides, then he is the enemy.
Obviously, Immortal Zhen Yuanzi has no intention of defecting to Buddhism. Unfortunately, his Taoist temple, Wuzhuang Temple, cannot be given up casually. Naturally, he can only withstand the calculations and suppression from Buddhism.
With the strength of Zhen Yuanzi, the Hinayana Buddhism led by Tathagata naturally looked down upon him. What he was really afraid of was the twin saints of Buddhism who had disappeared behind the scenes.
In the original work of Journey to the West, the foundation of Wuzhuang Temple was almost destroyed by the monkey, which was a hatred that destroyed the family. In the end, he endured it with the mediation of Buddhism, and even bowed his head to the monkey by sworn sworn, which was simply a slap in the face.
Lei Hu didn't think he could participate in such a 'general trend of heaven and earth', but he could still do it if he could help Zhen Yuanzi feel less embarrassed and helpless.
At least, as long as Lei Hu takes action in time, it is not difficult to stop the monkey from going crazy and destroying the ginseng fruit trees in Wuzhuang Temple, and Zhen Yuanzi will not get angry and capture Tang Monk later, and forge a big cause and effect with Buddhism.
Without the cause and effect of destroying the ginseng fruit tree, Zhen Yuanzi would not have been forced to hold his nose and sworn sworn relatives like Monkey in order to ease the relationship with Buddhism, which saved some face.
Even if it is inevitable to bow to Buddhism in the end, it is a private matter, and there is no need to make a joke to the great powers of the three realms about the journey to the west.
Lei Hu believed that based on this alone, Immortal Zhen Yuanzi would not care too much and would even take the initiative to give him a few ripe ginseng fruits.
…
Without further ado, this time Lei Hu personally watched the Westward Journey group and watched from the sky as they arrived at Wanshou Mountain where Wuzhuang Temple is located, and then entered Wuzhuang Temple to rest.
By the way, Longevity Mountain, where Wuzhuang Temple is located, was originally a stronghold of the human race. It was rumored that the human race was in danger of extinction in the prehistoric era. Zhen Yuanzi, the Great Immortal, took the initiative to protect some of the human race, and even had a conflict with the demon race for this reason.
But at present, there is no human settlement in the Wanshou Mountain Wonderland, which is millions of miles away. Lei Hu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Needless to say, the orbital talisman vehicles and a series of talisman instruments that Old Tang and his party had seen and heard before were naturally spread through the hands of the Yellow Turban Army.
There is a Taiping Dao leader at the Jiuzhou boundary, so there is no need to interfere too much.
On the contrary, the human race settlements on the four major continents have basically spread through the channels of the Yellow Turban Army.
The effect of hundreds of years of efforts to spread is quite obvious. At least Tang Seng and his disciples have seen that in any area where the Yellow Turban Army can intervene, the human race's sphere of influence basically has the spread of runes and rune tools.
If there were a large number of human races living in Wanshou Mountain, Talisman Taoism would inevitably be spread here to facilitate the human race people here to better develop production and enjoy life.
But playing such a trick under the eyes of a top-notch heaven and earth power like Zhen Yuanzi, Lei Hu could only say that he was under great pressure. Fortunately, there were no human beings here in Wanshou Mountain, otherwise the situation would have been more complicated.
Maybe, Tang Seng and his entourage would not go to Wuzhuang to rest, and naturally there would be no chance for Lei Hu to secretly attack. I don’t know if Zhen Yuanzi is really unlucky.
When we arrived at Wuzhuang Temple, the monkeys were naturally not honest, especially when the left-behind boy brought out ginseng fruit to entertain the monkeys, which aroused the monkeys' interest. Trouble would naturally come.
Sneaking to the ginseng fruit tree, the monkey refused to complain and was discovered by the left-behind boy in Wuzhuangguan. Naturally, he didn't say anything nice and hit him with a stick. Not only was the left-behind boy injured, but the angry monkey even tried to destroy the ginseng fruit tree.
Crazy idea and put it into practice.
when!
The Ruyi Golden Cudgel swept across, with a rampant and crazy momentum. Obviously, there was no intention to hold back at all. If it was swept into the tree and it fell over to death, that would be the only outcome.
But unexpectedly, a long spear suddenly appeared in mid-air, and the gun body collided with the golden cudgel that swept towards him, making a deafening sound. The spear body did not move at all, but the golden cudgel rebounded back under the force.
"Sun Dasheng, no!"
Thunder Tiger descended from the sky in a suit of immortal armor. The armor in his hands was particularly conspicuous. The auspicious clouds under his feet fell directly between the monkey and the ginseng fruit tree. He looked calm and said calmly: "The ginseng fruit tree is a treasure of heaven and earth and should not be destroyed in the hands of the great sage!"
"Who are you to interfere in my grandson's business?"
The monkey looked displeased, and danced his golden cudgel in the air, causing ripples in the air. He snorted coldly: "Those two little boys are so rude, I, Old Sun, really want to interrupt this ginseng fruit tree today.
Otherwise, no one would dare to sneer at me, Old Sun!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he followed the stick and rolled towards Lei Hu...
